Objectives: The authors present their first experience with a new operative method (within two years' period in 18 patients) solving pelvic prolapse in women by means of installation of polypropylene (Prolene) mesh implant.
Materials And Methods: The authors corrected various forms and stages of POP, particularly prolapse of the vaginal stump after hysterectomy, through the installation of Prolene mesh implants or the systems Prolift Anterior, Prolift Posterior and Prolift Total.
Results: Short-term results (follow-up 24 months) are promising. The patients present no significant subjective complaints and the objective findings are considerably improved. The authors report one particular case of point perforation of the urinary bladder with no side effects and they have not noticed any serious postoperative complications so far.
Conclusion: Nowadays, considering a new methodology the following factors are required: multicentre data collection, determination of rational indicating criteria (together with contraindications), analysis of per- and postoperative complications and publishing continuous clinical outcomes. This is the way how to find an adequate place for implants in a wide spectrum of operations regarding pelvic floor repair (Tab. 4, Fig. 5, Ref. 13). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

Objective: We aim to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the efficacy and safety of low-cost meshes compared to polypropylene meshes for IHR.
Methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing low-cost and standard meshes for IHR. Low-cost mesh was defined as a material non-designed for medical use.

Polypropylene (PP) mesh is a widely used prosthetic material in hernia repair due to its excellent mechanical properties and appropriate biocompatibility. However, its application is limited due to severe adhesion between the mesh and the abdominal viscera, leading to complications such as chronic pain, intestinal obstruction, and hernia recurrence. Currently, building anti-adhesive PP mesh remains a formidable challenge.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how a composite chitosan hydrogel combined with polypropylene mesh could enhance abdominal wall defect repairs compared to traditional methods.
- Methods included creating the CS hydrogel, examining its properties, and conducting experiments on cell behavior and wound healing in a rat model.
- Results showed that the composite offered improved hydrophilicity and a unique porous structure, while initial cell adhesion was less than in the control group, indicating potential for better healing and reduced complications.
